Westerwood Hotel Golf Club

Let’s get this right out the way first and foremost.. the greens are bad. Not just the first hole although that’s definitely the worst. All 18 need serious time and investment. The course itself though is a cracking test and has some proper golf holes. Views are great and whilst some additional signage would be helpful to navigate each hole I still enjoyed the layout.

We took a buggy which I think helps massively. There are some steep climbs and big walks between some holes.

One thing is the car park.. it’s FREE for golfers but the signs don’t say that.. it just says “Hotel Guests” so both myself and my brother paid for parking £6 each.. which is a total nonsense anyway.. just to be told in the shop that it was free for golfers. Very frustrating. Guy in the shop was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our day. If they would only put some investment in the course it would be the best in the area in my opinion. As it is there is better value for money nearby.

A very fun and interesting layout, with some great risk/reward holes, particularly on the back 9. I’d always wanted to play this course because of the design influence of Seve and it didn’t disappoint. Very clever use of water and dog legs. Also some stunning views across to the Campsie Hills. Would love to come back and play again at the height of summer.

Given the time of year, a cold and wet spring and wet conditions on the day, we probably didn’t see it at its best. A couple of the greens in particular need some attention and overall could do with some TLC to match the design. The drainage held up reasonably well under the conditions. Given the economic climate and cost of doing business I think golfers need to manage their expectations for the next few years about conditions of venues, given how expensive modern courses are to maintain.

A good and enjoyable course to play. The paths around the holes are in desperate need of an upgrade. Potholes and uneven paths everywhere! But on the whole the course was good to play, if not a little sandy on the green in places.

Well designed course which has been saomewhat neglected.

Greens need attention as do the tee boxes.

Greens were extremely poor, 1st green looks like the grass is dead. They were so bumpy that trying to read a putt was pointless. I appreciate that the weather hasn’t been great but neighbouring courses are in much better condition. The change of tee box for 13 is an improvement but the tee box is in poor condition.

The standard of the course was terrible. The greens were terrible, the 13th had sand to dry it out due to it being sodden. There were winter greens on the 1st and 15th. The greens were majorly on the moss side. I’ve played here previously and it’s never been as bad. It needs a lot of work. I would recommend visiting somewhere else until they fix it.

As the title states, it's not fit for play at least not if they are taking money.

Course was dry, however it's more moss than grass on the fairways and greens.

Course signage was terrible for people who don't know the layout.

Staff in shop where friendly and that is the only redeeming factor.

Even though it's a local course to me , we won't be back.

Previously played this course in the winter and it was frosty and firm. However today the course was very wet and waterlogged which proved very challenging even for a fairway shot.

Was initially dissapointed as all temporary greats were on due to frost . Have played coarse once before and was aware the coarse was decent with some really nice holes . Thought distance from coming off some of the greens to reaching next tee area was a trek . Would definitely play coarse again when weathers a bit kinder lol

The course layout is very pleasant. Some really tricky holes. Some very rewarding holes.
Greens need some work.
Rough is wild but so was my golf. Avoid the rough and you are fine.
Couldn't get food after our game because it was too busy but the resteraunt was half empty.
With a bit of TLC it could be a top course but its let down by poor maintenance compared to other courses. Definitely room for improvement.

We played this course as a last resort, because we couldn't find any other early Tee times, but instantly regretted it.

Green and Tee boxes are terrible.
Fairway is water logged.
Paths are a mess.
If you are not straight down the fairway your ball is lost.
No playing out the rough, the heather is wild and your ball is gone.
Never lost so many balls in my life.
Would not recommend or ever play again.
The layout is good, but the course is neglected.

Greens have been shocking for years. Now it’s worse than ever. Shame as it could be a good track. I’d recommend using this place for practice if you can find a £10-15 round price. Just pick up on the greens with an automatic 2 putt, as otherwise it’s pure comedy.

Not sure what's happened to this course but the greens were absolutely terrible .shocking worst greens I have ever played.
It's a shame I played here ad a boy 30 yrs ago and greens were terrific so I was very disappointed today the greens were awful such a shame obviously not spending money on course .
Don't go not worth it

Disappointed with the greens, some of them were absolutely shocking.

Staff were great on arrival and fairways and pathways were fine however every single green was in very poor condition which sadly took the shine off what should have been an enjoyable round.

Thought the drainage on the fairways would have be better, there was too much lying water on the sodden ground and grass was overgrown. Even accounting for the recent showers the general condition of the course was poor.

Another issue was the course layout; the distance between the tees was much further than expected and the condition of the paths were rough and uneven in many places.

These views were shared with my two fellow players … and we agreed it was not worth the fee charged and it is not a course we would be recommending or be willing to revisit.

Finally the staff and off course facilities were very good and cannot be faulted.

Course was in good condition as were greens, and was a decent price. Only criticism is the rough is brutal. If you can't control it off the tee be prepared to bring lots of extra golf balls.

I'd you're reasonably accurate off the tee the course is a good challenge and fun to play. Might advise to hire buggies.
